The Rees Hotel Queenstown is excited to announce the appointment of Hayley Bryan as Events Co-ordinator. Miss Bryan joins the Rees team to lead its growing Conference and Incentives business while taking on Duty Manager responsibilities.

With ten years experience in the travel and tourism industries, Miss Bryan returns to Queenstown from the United Kingdom where she was General Manager of Kirra Toursâ€™ London office. Miss Bryan spent five years in the London office, working her way up through the ranks and supporting an enviable range of touring and travel options for domestic and international visitors to New Zealand.

As General Manager Miss Bryan was responsible for a diverse range of strategic, operational and administrative functions including trade, sales and marketing, staffing and office management.

Amongst her achievements, Miss Bryan negotiated Kirra into global travel leader TUIâ€™s New Zealand and Australia consumer brochure and built a strong business relationship with travel agency chain Premier Travel resulting in a first year sales growth of over 600 percent.

Prior to working in the United Kingdom, Miss Bryan was a resident of Queenstown and held various roles within the local tourism industry.
